For the record this is Mic using Jays account as I have not been able to sign in since my laptop crashed and my new one doesn't seem to sycn with IW. Anyway to start one thing I see is a Catch 22, with older boaters carrying the load and not enough new blood coming in to replace. Yes the 2 day...

Miss the 1-day races.

Lots of good people are commenting here, and people that know tunnels extremely well. Here my opinion on weight, and CG. In my opinion focusing on CG can be very dangerous. If you are trying to duplicate CG to someone else, that often can be a very quick way of goofing up your setup. Even if...

The boat we used was a Vision. We brought 2 Visions which were very close in setup. On Friday my Dad and Drake were playing with setup and prop, and came up with a really fast boat. The boat was a little faster than I was able to handle, and on Friday I blew the boat off really hard. We...

Randy: I'll say it's not the same if your not their. Still lots of great competition, but you not in 20 mod and 20 stock changes things. Best of luck we'll see you soon. Jay Halbrehder

We've run about every boat available. All I run now for my 20 and 40 is a vision. Lots of debate on whats the best boat. If I could have any other boats for free right now, I'd still pay to run Shawn's boat. Next weeks Charleston, and all the talk gets put to the test. Team Ugly has some...

Here’s my two cents. Thank U to Huntsville for putting on the event especially Paul and David, both who got there early, and stayed late everyday giving their time so others could have fun. Again thank you Mark Sholund, and Andy Brown for Props. Props often get overlooked, but they are at the...

Racing P Ltd has some great qualities, but like everything nothings perfect. Great place for anyone new and experienced to FE to have good competition to race. As far as carnage, its racing it’s going to happen, I’m not sure that P Ltd makes carnage worse or better. Really depends on the heat...

Shaw I’m guessing you’ll be better this year than last (you ran real good for a rookie). So I trained real hard for you this year, even put another inch on my biceps, in case I need to drag you into the bushes and teach you a little respect. Just remember at the start when I ask you were you...

I don’t post much because no one wants technical advice from someone who has trouble differentiating between a #4 & #6 Allen wrench. I just know #4 is yellow in the box, and #6 is orange. I have run enough heats as a racer though, and recognize who are good racers, and who need a little more...

I agree with Jerry M440 and X440 should work well. Might also want to consider Grim Racer 40x53, and 40x52/3. http://www.aquacraftmodels.com/accessories/propellers.html . If you need prop work Mark Sholund’s absolutely one of the best. http://www.props4u.com/ . You cannot go wrong trying...

Ted: Definitely didn’t offend me, in fact didn’t think much of it until you mentioned it, but thank you for the consideration. Lots of people read these posts looking for information, and you see diverse opinions. I’ve seen Mike Z, give the exact set up, Prop, motor position, Act…, on a VS1...

Didn’t say you were a straightaway boat, said most boats trying to reach 60 are straightaway set ups. Seen a lot of people trying to get big radar runs using up the whole pond, which isn’t usually how it works in a race. Was trying to also say that speed isn’t everything, lap times are to me...

This post started about Lee Crafts and congratulations on their recent and continued success. As my dad stated earlier the HTV we run, and have had success with both at the Impba nationals and worlds has the old Lee Craft bottom. I’ve run that boat for over 15 years, and know its competitive...

Well the nice thing about the mod class is they welcome you to run your stock boat with the mods. This does not mean the boats are of equal abilities. Like most racers, I’ve won a few and lost a few more. I too have placed in the top three…in a few nationals and world championships with a...
